He paid a very solid 2-1 in a pretty good field ( while running very fast ). His subsequent effort at 7F in the Woody Stephens wasn't bad either and he's clearly improved since.
I am very skeptical about performances from Mountaineer, as well as many Mid-Atlantic tracks, but this horse is the real deal and I will hardly be surprised when he's a major factor in " real " races later in the year.

Let me rephrase- "less known". He's the real deal.
I was bet to my balls on him in the Woody Stephens, and he ran his eyeballs out.
